FDL Post Office features Forever holiday stamps

The U.S. Postal Service recently announced the arrival of two Christmas Forever stamps. They are now available to the public at the Fond du Lac Post Office for the holiday mailing season.

"The new Virgin and Child stamp by Jan Gossaert features a detail of Gossaert's 1531 oil-on-wood painting, Virgin and Child, from the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art," said Fond du Lac Postmaster Ed Graczyk. "The stamp is now on sale at the Fond du Lac Post Office as a booklet of 20 stamps."

This is the second time a Gossaert painting has appeared on a U.S. stamp. In 2002, the U.S. Postal Service issued a Christmas stamp that featured a detail of Gossaert's circa-1520 oil-on-panel Madonna and Child. The Postal Service also announced the issuance of the Holy Family Forever Stamp in a new 20-pane stamp format.

"First issued in 2012 as booklets, the Holy Family stamp returns and celebrates Christmas with a scene from the Nativity story that reminds us of the joys of the season: family, togetherness and the birth of Jesus," said Graczyk. The stamp depicts Joseph leading a donkey that carries Mary and the baby Jesus, guided by a star shining in the twilight of a desert sky.

Customers may purchase the stamps online at usps.com/stamps or by calling 800-STAMP24 or 800-782-6724.
